At seventeen the bridge of dreams
Can reach across forever
A long weekend, my mother's friend
You came in search of weather

The women I saw, I'd seen years before
But never like this
Your kiss on my cheek, said "Find if you seek,
A moment of bliss"

I'll never forget you
Don't ever regret you
You opened my eyes
Wherever I go in this world
As I stumble on shifting sand
You were there
When a boy turned man

Secretly it had to be
Though honest was our passion
And every moment in your arms
Made mockery of fashion

And after the flow
The talk of the soul
Will stay deep inside

I'll never forget you
I'll always respect you
You opened my eyes
Whatever I do in this life
As I battle against the tide

I'll never forget you
I'll always respect you
You opened my eyes
Wherever I go in this world
As I stumble on shifting sand
You were there
When a boy turned man

You were there
When a boy turned man

You were there
When this boy turned man
You were there
When this boy turned man

You were there
When this boy turned man
